A pan-Southern Classic for the Daring Cooks April 2010 Challenge – Brunswick Stew

This month’s Daring Cooks Challenge was a Brunswick Stew. Brunswick Stew is a classic dish from southeastern United States. Stew is a dish that I make quite often. Although I had never had a Brunswick stew before. Well, apparently we cannot call a stew a Brunswick Stew unless all the ingredients and seasonings are used according to the recipe. So, I guess mine was a vegan UnBrunswick Stew or just a Lovlie Stew. The original recipe uses chicken broth along with meat originally game. I used vegetable stock with pinto beans as meat substitute. For more flavour I added a pinch of cumin and a dash of cayenne pepper.If you want to add onions to the recipe, sautee them just before adding the tomato puree in the recipe below.

Cook on medium heat until half cooked, adding water occasionally if required to avoid burning.

Add in cauliflower florets. Cover and let cook until both potatoes and cauliflower are almost done.

Remove from pan, set aside.

Add 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Add in tomato puree, cumin, vegetable stock and ginger. Sautee for a few minutes until starting to reduce.

Add potatotes and cauliflower. Stir and mix well.

Add beans and peas.

Add about 1 – 2 cups of water or more (depending on the desired sauce consistency).

Cover and simmer for 15 minutes until sauce starts to thicken and vegetables are cooked. Adjust heat and cook uncovered to reduce the sauce to desired consistency.

Add maple syrup, cayenne pepper and salt to taste.

Awesome job with the challenge! I loved how versatile this challenge was, so I would absolutely still call yours Brunswick Stew, though I do like &quot;Un-Brunswick Stew&quot; 🙂 And great idea to add cauliflower. Your stew looks so hearty and sounds so flavorful. I hope you enjoyed it!

Cauliflower you are a girl after my own heart I wish I had thought of that and I still think you did a Brunswick stew just YOUR version of it. Bravo on doing a veggie version of this classic. Wonderful looking photograph also, cheers from Audax in Sydney Australia.

It is really awesome to see how other vegetarians changed up the recipe to make it work! The cauliflower looks really cool in there, and I bet it worked well flavor-wise, too. Whatever you ultimately choose to call it, your Brunswick inspired stew looks delicious!

I didn&#39;t know you were participating to the Daring Kitchen challenge!
